Lower Back Braces and Supports

The lower back supports the spine and your entire upper body. The low back is prone to injury because nearly every movement and activity uses the muscles, ligaments and bones in the lower back. Occupations that require repeated lifting and sports that twist your back, such as golfing, can also put your low back at risk. Even pregnancy can cause lower back pain. Wearing a lower back brace can help support your body during activities or situations that may strain your back. A low back brace keeps your back in the proper position and provides compression to help prevent torn back ligaments.
